Clinton Fire Chief Accused of Conflict of Interest: A Public Hearing Looms
The Massachusetts State Ethics Commission has accused Clinton Fire Chief Michael Lutes of violating conflict of interest laws. The allegations revolve around his supervision of his two sons, who are also firefighters in the town. Lutes is accused of making decisions that impacted his sons finances, such as resisting a reassignment that would reduce ones seniority and arranging special training for another son on fire alarm maintenance to increase overtime opportunities. The conflict law prohibits town employees from influencing matters related to their own or immediate familys financial interests. Lutes has served the department since 1986. No public response from Lutes yet, but each proven violation could result in a fine of up to ten thousand dollars. A public hearing on these claims will take place within ninety days.
